Emailchaser’s $47 Starter plan also has unlimited team seats, but its 1,000-active-contact cap is lower than Ballast Starter’s 10,000-active-contact cap. ## How do cold email platforms meter plans when seats and mailboxes are unlimited? Ballast, QuickMail, Emailchaser and Salesforge each set a monthly email allowance even on plans with unlimited seats and mailboxes. A mailbox allowance controls how many sending accounts you can connect; it does not raise the plan’s email allowance. Contact limits use different definitions. Ballast and Emailchaser count active contacts, while QuickMail limits uploaded contacts. Salesforge Growth permits unlimited stored contacts but limits contacts in active sequences. A team retaining old campaign records therefore faces a different constraint from a team keeping thousands of sequences active. Warmup has its own terms. QuickMail includes MailFlow AutoWarmer, and Salesforge includes premium warmup. Agencies also need to price workspace separation: Emailchaser includes free client workspaces, QuickMail Starter includes one, and Ballast bills each workspace on its own plan. ## Ballast Ballast Starter costs $19 monthly, or $190 yearly, and includes unlimited seats, unlimited mailboxes, 20,000 campaign emails a month and up to 10,000 active contacts. [Growth costs $39 monthly](https://ballast.to/pricing), or $390 yearly, for 125,000 emails and 75,000 active contacts. Sending pauses at a plan limit until the next period or an upgrade; there is no overage bill. ![Ballast's pricing page explaining plans based on email volume instead of seats](https://ballast.to/blog/5-cheap-cold-email-platforms-with-unlimited-seats-2026-screenshot-1.jpg "Ballast's pricing page explaining plans based on email volume instead of seats, October 2026") [Ballast’s warmup pool](https://ballast.to/) runs separately from the monthly email allowance. Its sending controls include mailbox-level pacing, matching Google senders to Gmail recipients and Outlook senders to Outlook recipients, and breakers that pause sending when bounces climb. Each workspace needs its own plan, even though seats and mailboxes within it are unlimited. For an agency with five client workspaces, five Ballast Starter plans cost 5 × $19 = $95 a month; Emailchaser Starter stays at $47 with free client workspaces, provided its shared 5,000-email and 1,000-active-contact limits fit. Pick Emailchaser instead if free separation for several clients matters more than those limits. **Best for:** Teams bringing their own list and paying by campaign email volume. **Pros:** - Warmup sends do not use the campaign quota. - Seats, mailboxes, the shared inbox and API are included on Starter. **Cons:** - Each workspace needs its own paid plan. - There is no free plan. ## QuickMail QuickMail Starter costs $49 a month as of October 2026 and includes unlimited users, email senders and LinkedIn accounts. The plan allows 5,000 emails per month, 1,000 uploaded contacts and one workspace. QuickMail combines email and LinkedIn outreach, with replies brought into one inbox. Starter includes MailFlow AutoWarmer. A team needing more uploaded contacts can move to Growth at $99 a month for 25,000 uploaded contacts and 100,000 monthly emails. For agencies, the $299 Agency plan includes two workspaces and prices additional workspaces at $49 each. QuickMail’s unlimited-user allowance begins on Starter; Salesforge does not include unlimited users until Growth. QuickMail Starter limits campaign sends and uploaded contacts, while colleague seats are unlimited. **Best for:** Teams running email and LinkedIn outreach with several users in one workspace. **Pros:** - Unlimited users and LinkedIn accounts are included on Starter. - MailFlow AutoWarmer is included. **Cons:** - Starter allows one workspace and 1,000 uploaded contacts. ## Emailchaser Emailchaser Starter costs $47 a month as of October 2026 and includes unlimited team seats, email accounts and free client workspaces. It allows 5,000 emails a month and 1,000 active contacts. Emailchaser also includes a lead finder, with 1,500 lead credits a month on Starter. Its active-contact limit applies to leads waiting for an email or partway through a sequence, rather than every lead kept in the account. Pro raises the limits to 125,000 emails and 25,000 active contacts for $97 a month. Done-for-you domains and mailboxes are billed separately from the sending plan. Emailchaser is cheaper than QuickMail Starter by $2 a month, and both allow 5,000 monthly emails; Emailchaser counts active contacts while QuickMail caps uploaded contacts. Emailchaser also includes unlimited client workspaces on Starter, where QuickMail includes one. **Best for:** Agencies needing separate client workspaces without a workspace fee. **Pros:** - Starter includes unlimited seats, mailboxes and free client workspaces. - Lead finder credits are included. **Cons:** - Starter caps active contacts at 1,000. - Done-for-you mailboxes cost extra. ## Salesforge Salesforge Growth costs $80 a month as of October 2026 and includes unlimited users, mailboxes, LinkedIn senders and workspaces.

Pro also limits campaigns to 5,000 monthly emails and 1,000 active contacts. Growth is the relevant Salesforge tier for a team that requires unlimited seats. Salesforge includes premium warmup on both Pro and Growth. Its unlimited-contact-storage allowance does not remove the limit on contacts currently in sequences. **Best for:** Teams needing unlimited users for combined email and LinkedIn sequences. **Pros:** - Growth includes unlimited users, workspaces and LinkedIn senders. - Premium mailbox warmup is included. **Cons:** - Growth caps active sequence contacts at 10,000. ## Saleshandy Saleshandy Outreach Starter costs $41 with monthly billing, or $34 a month billed annually, as of October 2026.

Saleshandy also offers a B2B database and multichannel sequences involving email, calls, LinkedIn and other tasks. Its homepage describes unlimited clients with dedicated sending infrastructure and no extra client fee. At the annually billed entry price, Saleshandy costs less per month than QuickMail, Emailchaser or Salesforge Growth. Teams requiring an explicit unlimited-user term have that term on the other three plans. **Best for:** Teams that need lead finding alongside outreach and unlimited connected email accounts. **Pros:** - Unlimited email accounts and inbox warmup are included. - A B2B lead database is available in the platform. **Cons:** - The $34 monthly rate requires annual billing. ## Which other cold email platforms offer unlimited seats or mailboxes?
